It's time to put your pedal to the metal. From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland, an executive producers, Will Arnett and Anthony Mackie comes a new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal, a high-oxane action comedy based on the classic video game series. Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, a motor-mouthed outsider who must deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

It's the podcast The race show the week is the drunk take you all Rooster team is the podcast the great show the week I guess the great show we Chunk tank Hey everyone welcome to the drunk tank wow pretty name impressive. I do admit how do we follow that? That's better than the podcast is gonna be the uh, I don't know it It's not quite as good as last week's team song. Yeah, you ask me who who who did that that was heath Garcia

I wonder what he's mom's name is Luckily, I think he knows how to use his own email address Teresa box kid called in to ask why we call his mom in the podcast was real name. We should probably say what is real name I don't know. He was quite upset. Yeah, it was well anyway We really appreciate this last weekend this week's songs. Yeah, great. Yeah You add a guitar to a nerd night. I do want to sleep with him. It's amazing how it works He said a dreamy. That was awesome. Yeah, that was really good.

Hey, I'm Jeff. I'm Gus. I'm Gav. And I'm Bernie returning from a hiatus. Yeah, it's been, you've missed the last two weeks, right? Yeah, you're also not a chick anymore. No, no. I'm post-op at this point.

I was in LA for a week, and then I was somewhere else. I forget where. I think the other week we were busy on production Yeah, we were trying to thank you. I'm just commercial stuff. Yeah, yeah You know what I'm excited about with this podcast guys. What's that? I don't have to edit it I Did you not have fun last week? No, dude? That's a lot of work put in the podcast together I have a new fund respect for you. It's not that bad. It only takes all day. Yeah

Mixing three tracks and now four for you this week. That's a fucking pain in the ass. Yeah, that sucks It is hard have a blast I'm excited because I get to sit next to Gavin during the podcast bunny likes me I do well it looks to him coming in. I know hello. My name is Gravino What that's my regular voice I'd have a cold this week. Yeah, but I missed the I have not been in the first two podcasts that featured Gavin. So, I'm happy to be here and representing this side of the pond on this side of the couch. Good. Let's move on. Okay, we will. Jeff, are you going to pick up Shadow Complex today? Yeah, I'm going to I was trying to wrap up editing

on another video that I did for a new feature in Achievement Hunter that Bernie's really excited about. Oh yeah? Yeah, it's got Achievement Hunter rewind. What is Achievement Hunter rewind? Well, I go back and I take an old game like in this instance Marble Blast Ulster that I never really played and go through and do some achievement videos in it

because you know, those games were out, like that was a launch title that didn't get a, like going back I decided to play it because I remember thinking it was fun. And I couldn't find many resources, help resources on it because I guess those kind of sites, like, achievement hundred didn't exist back then. So I thought, why not every once in a while go back and highlight an old game that maybe didn't get the coverage it deserved and do some videos in it. I think it's a great feature. That sounds stupid. I think it sounds stupid. The two people who we could buy, one buy one will last ultra will be very great

Yeah, or maybe maybe a couple people watch the video and go buy it. I still think it's the best it's the best okay game No, you're so wrong battlefield 1943 and Pac-Man CE are both superior and trials HD Which everyone's playing like many trials. H.T. and made the top you use this week and now shadow complex Yeah, which we haven't played yet but no one is so that's by epic right he's super loud right I am am I crazy I haven't peaked no all right there you go he's a bit loud sorry a little bit but yeah so yeah you're totally wrong about everything you know what is shadow complex what is that It looks it's like a side scrolling Adventure game kind of about done. You don't need to tell me anything else because you hate size It was kind of like super Metroid or Castlevania Symphony of the night like super Metroid

That's cool. You know this spring power ups and shit. This brings me back to what I don't like about Achievement Hunter rewind is I don't like retro gaming I it's a thing that people think retro gaming is fun and I see a lot of shows on the internet where they sit down and they play old games that's totally contextual for the person. Totally. It's when you started playing games and you take, oh, these are the greatest games and they're not. Yeah, but we're not going back to N64 games or anything. This is still stuff on the current platform. And no one decides Gavino St. Marble bless ultra is the greatest game ever. That's true and shadow complex

Is just drawing on an old gameplay style. It doesn't necessarily exist anymore. No, then I'm fine with yeah, I mean It's not you know, it doesn't look like shit and uh, but like people who bust out like the eight-bit Nintendo and start playing Castlevania It's not interesting, but is it not is it not impressive when a game holds up and you can still plan it's like whoa This is still awesome games don't hold up games don't hold up. You can you can play it for me No, no 10 minutes. Well, they build on each other so much, but on an individual basis. Yeah, like I'll go back and play games That I used to play but like games I used to play like Altima or even older Tari games I don't expect anybody else to be interested in those games nobody's playing them

I think part about games and and reporting on games and talking about them is other people are also playing them. You know, the shared collective memory, it doesn't work the same way with games, I don't think. That's just my personal opinion. I hate to feel so strongly about your new thing. I'll tell you nothing about your achievement hunter rewind. Your logo is fucked up because you have A H, then you have the Xbox button which is round and then rewind a whole win a whole wind a Whirlwind is what it looks like that's what I thought that's the sitting hidden meaning man Bernies all over all over you today I don't know what you did to this and I'm I just think that's a big switch man

If I go to a video, this is a whirlwind and a new display in fucking marble blast ultra I'm gonna be disappointed you know that little chart We have on YouTube that shows like wind drop-offs? Like the second there's a little blue marble. I'm like out gone by it. If anybody, you don't know what's gonna happen with that marble where it's going. Yeah, a whore wind does not necessarily sound that great either. Yeah, I don't know. Also, anybody... For yourself.

Anybody that pops a boner at horse-billed HOR E's got problems. Dude, he's going on YouTube. That's a good point. I think that actually problems. Dude, it's going on YouTube. That's a good point. I think that actually is the acceptance spelling of that word on YouTube. You know, we just mentioned this kind of, but there's a cool tool that we have on the back end of YouTube where we can see on a video

when people stop watching the video on average. So it's this graph of like everyone starts out watching the video and then over time, where do they drop out. It's pretty interesting. It's really weird. Like as a fun- And we can also see people. We can watch them via their computer as they're watching our video.

So we see all the disgusting things you all are doing. I bet you didn't know that. Yeah, we have like a backwards record button. For shame. We can drive. But the best part was last week you guys were in a video where two girls were about to make out and then they didn't and then you two were where two girls were about to make out and then they didn't and then you two were dressed as the girls about to make out. You could definitely see the drop-offs

like when Lindsay and Macy are going to kiss and then Matt breaks it up and they don't kiss it's like you a bunch of people stop watching and then Gus shows up in a blonde wig and there's another drop right off. So, too bad they didn't stay watching till the very end to see when the girls actually do make out Exactly right and then they touch butts. It was awesome. Yeah That's not true. That's right. Nothing wrong some good butt touching. I think butt touching is against the terms of service on YouTube I wonder that's probably a website right but touch I Should be I just got an awesome URL that I wouldn't tell you what it is because it's so fucking great

But I just picked up a URL that I thought I'm gonna see if this is available and it was available and I got it I'm gonna tell you what it is. I said I wasn't have to. I'm a bad marker. I was gonna hold it back No, no reaction to that What kind of reaction would you have to that? Okay, everyone you guys don't you guys are So maybe we shouldn't talk about it. Oh, okay. All right, let's go ahead and cut that You guys are very play-t-t and they kept saying in it the Yeah, I do never mind. I feel bad. Can we talk about podcast? Probably not so I'm just gonna keep talking so it's harder to edit. Yeah, all right I'm out

So be purchased any good So he purchased any good to me guys I'm green I haven't been here in two weeks Fuck you on for me I'm talking about India's stuff in the butt. Oh man. No, they'll be a nice little clip there when it's like hey I got a hurt and then everybody's laughing at me and then I'll make a funny segue and it'll make no sense. Yeah, you'd love your segways Hey, so is anyone gonna pick up a PS3 now that they're slim and price cut? I will is the slim to 99 yes, no, I will what I do with it Blu-ray man blu-ray movies. I don't watch like that. I downloaded shit. Nope from Netflix. Yeah, but it's not skittest blu-ray

Low bit rates. What do I care about kind of thing? No actually? I used to enjoy it a lot until Netflix started increasing the price for having blu-ray. Hello, bitrates. What do I do? Do you not care about a kind of thing? No. Actually, I used to enjoy it a lot until Netflix started increasing the price for having Blu-ray access. They increased it once. I bared with them. They increased it the second time. And I was like, I'm out. I don't care enough anymore.

Why was that? Just because of the district more expensive? That was their rationale, yes. You know, there's a lot of things about Netflix that I don't understand. I don't know how their model works. Like, there's all these pictures that are online about people behind the scenes at Netflix and it shows all the people sorting the discs,

but it's just a big white room with a bunch of people at tables, just sorting discs. Nice. And I understand how that works. I understand how the streaming model works. Like how do they make money? Like if I watch Christmas vacation, a movie from 20, 30 years ago, is it on streaming? I'm just using some. It's not. We almost lost Jeff. We gave him a spot to leave the bug test. But as an example, hypothetically, Jeff, let's say there was a movie, Christmas vacation, it was on Netflix streaming.

Sure. When I play it, do they make money from that? I think they probably make a set fee. Or play. Do they have to pay money to the studio? I mean, I don't know. It sounds like bullshit, doesn't it? Yeah, it's really weird. Whatever? I mean, I don't I don't know it sounds like bullshit doesn't it? Yeah, it's really whatever. I mean it obviously works, right?

They're obviously making money somehow. Yeah, that was kind of the rationale behind Napster, too It's like well, it's there right and it's working and people are using it so it must be okay everyone knew that was illegal Nobody else. Yeah, that's different. No, but I mean after just like three years before they shut it down Netflix has talk about legal Napster or illegal Napster. I'm about illegal Napster. Okay. I don't think Netflix just is just illegally launching their streaming service and hoping the studios are not going to notice. I'm sure it's all going to fly under the radar. Fire the radar. Fair use, fair use. You know, the reason I know that Christmas vacation is not available for streaming is because I checked the other day since I was living in an RV and

I found members of the RV in a Christmas vacation And it's a shame that it's not there. Yeah, so I think I put it in my queue not be getting it soon hopefully cool You want to watch it at my house since you don't have a way to watch it? That sounds awesome. You know, talk about where you live in right now, I guess I'm living in a very cheap extended Stay motel up in Cedar Park right now. Why did you move out of your trailer? in a very cheap extended stay motel up in Cedar Park right now. Why did you move out of your trailer? Well, you know, the house I bought is, they're finishing up construction on it

and my wife and I thought, oh, we'll just run an RV and live in our front yard except that nothing worked. AC didn't work. Well, first of all, the thing was not level. So we dealt with that. The house wasn't level? The RV wasn't level.

Oh, okay. And then the AC would never work. So, you know, I borrowed some portable AC units from the office put them in there. Then, last night, the lights quit working. And I said, I'm out. That's it. And, and according to your wife, isn't there a skylight in the bedroom right above your bed with no glass in it? Yeah, that's right. We taped the we taped a black plastic trash bag over that broken skylight. Not called a skylight. It's called a hole.

And Squirrels kept throwing nuts at the top of the RV very early in the morning waking me up. Wow. So that's it. They're gonna pick up the RV today and I'm just gonna stay in the crappy extended stay up in Cedar Park. How's your commute from Cedar Park to Austin? You know, it's not that bad. It only took me like 30 minutes to get to work this morning. Why do you say that one like two blocks away from here? Because that's like triple the price. Oh, there you go That'll do it. You know, I've learned in this process with guys that The term house is a relative term, you know, because you bought a house, but you're living in the front lawn And now you're living in a hotel as a new homeowner. How are you enjoying homeowner? It's the worst thing in my wife. It does walks around saying that as soon as the house is ready

She's gonna burn it down. Oh, yeah, it's rough rough like I see his that house is done. I'm gonna burn it But I wonder if I get Netflix delivered to my hook to the motel a little bit seer park. That's a great question We'll find out you know, I built a house the same year that I got married so we planned a wedding and Constructed a home in the same year Jesus. Yeah, that was dumb. And you're still married. Nine years today. Oh, yeah, by the way, happy anniversary. Thank you. I really miss you. My soul. Yeah, today's my anniversary. Congratulations. Yeah, I sent myself an email last night to remind me to tell you that nine years nine years. I bet it only feels like 30. I mean, I, she's bearing the burden. Trust me. Not to scare you, but my first marriage ended at nine years

Wow, that makes you seem like really old. It doesn't be seen first marriage at last You get married to what like 14 now? That's old in Alabama. That's Alabama 30. Yeah, I think it's a hard way for a driver's license I think that's 20 when I got married. Yeah, the first time. But anyway, the ninth year was the one that what were you thinking? Well, let's see it's younger than I am. I can't imagine being married. I was thinking this girl is gonna have sex with me. This is awesome. Where's a ring? Let me save you some time.

Don't ever ask Jeff what were you thinking based on the decision? I have witnessed so many decisions that Jeff has made that make no sense whatsoever. Top three. List them. It's okay. Well well first of all, we talked about something? Go for it. Okay, well first of all, it obviously worked out very well,

but you can see how this would be a bad idea. The day that we had a party to celebrate Jeff's divorce being finalized, he got engaged on that day. And he walked up Griffin and Jeff walked up to Gus and Griffin, who we all love, and we all know now is a perfect match for Jeff She held up her wedding or her engagement ring to Gus and said we just got engaged and Gus says I think that's a terrible idea I Thought I would just be honest. I love Griffin the death. It's worked out great. I'm just

I'm just saying what I thought on paper. It's a bad idea to get engaged on the day of your divorce being finalized But it worked out it's beautiful. Oh clearly you guys are a perfect match clearly You see you get a if you have make enough bad decisions every once in a while one of them is gonna work out for you That's kind of my motto. I guess that's a good way to think about it Yeah, and also the other one was I'll just go through two of these When red versus blue started to do well, you know, and we started to make money at Red Varsibley. Jeff said, I think I'm gonna go out and buy a classic Bronco for myself because I've always wanted a classic Bronco.

I think I'm 68 Bronco. A 1968 Bronco. And I said, well, if you wanna do that, if that's important and you think you wanna do that, you should do it, man. You should get something that you want. That's a good idea. The next day, he drove up in a 1965 Mustang.

Yes. The next day, and I said, what is this? I thought you were gonna get a Bronco, he goes, I couldn't find one. One day. One day, he gave up. He said he wanted one of his entire life. He lasted probably about 24 hours.

We also, one time, we did this thing, we were gonna try to see how long we could go without solid food, because we heard that one time we did this thing we were gonna try to see how long we could go without solid food Because we heard that David David Blaine did this. Oh, I made it seven days without solid food Jeff made it through lunch He almost made it seven hours Almost almost I made it the first day. It's like no you ate the first day. I ate that dinner So what did what did you have to eat? What did you eat Bernie for seven days? It was a thing where you would drink like hot water lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Yeah, yeah, and there was a maple syrup

Maybe there was some kind of like or granite be maple syrup. Yeah, and so I did that for seven days The mixture actually tastes pretty good. How did you feel off seven days of that? Well, I was supposed to do it 10 days. And on the seventh day, I almost passed out in my office and my old job. And I said, okay, that's it. I gotta get some meat. And then I went eight crackers from the vending machine.

Like, did you pour, or did you have those orange crackers with peanut butter? Yeah, we have those. Yeah, those in England? Yeah. Does it have like kidney, mashed kidney in the middle or something like that? Some disgusting blood crackers or something like that some disgusting blood crack

Crackers or something blood bogey hungry now, but I eliminate those and I had some kind of weird like Carb reaction and I thought I was gonna like fire through the ceiling. No, it was it was bad It was after no solid food for seven days like that time you ate those salt things and almost died What I do you ate the shells of some nuts or seeds or what you do? Oh, the pumpkin seed. It's idiot. Yeah, that was pretty dumb. And I remember when you all were doing that stupid, no solid food thing, I was working

there. Also, it was fun to watch. It was really entertaining. What? You watched one of us, and you know, for seven days, and one of us, for basically half a day. Well, he was smart. I'm with Jeff on this. I would have stopped after seven hours, too. I was smart. I didn't start.

You okay? I'm with you guys. You're not interested in physically testing yourself to see if you can do something like that? No. I thought it was pretty interesting. What's the longest you've stayed awake in a row? I don't know. That's a good question. That's another body limits. I can't do it like I used to be able to, I can tell you that. The first season of Reversibility killed that for me.

When I was younger, I once did like 60 hours. And that was like, so you... Now pure torture. So you skipped two nights of sleep. Yeah. I can say that I probably have never done that. Two nights in a row, never. How about you?

What about you, Gavino? I stayed up all night once and then I went to work for a day. I've never done that. Two nights in a row, never. How about you? What about you, Gavino? I stayed up all night once and then I went to work for a day. It was when I went to a supermarket and the weird stuff was happening. Like some customers would ask me for something and I'd go upstairs and have a look and I'd be like, I don't know what they asked me.

I don't know who asked me. So I'd just like stay upstairs for a bit until I went and then come down. It was really weird. It was like the slowest day as well. It just went really slow. Yeah. Horrible. It was really weird. It was like the slowest day as well. It just went really slow. Yeah. Horrible.

Never doing it again. Yeah, when you're waiting to get out of work, that's the worst. Yeah, slowest day's ever. I know, tell me about it. It's a drag enough. No, complain. Don't complain.

I can't complain. I mean, if I leave here, where am I going to go? I'm going to say, go work at the goddamn DMV. So I get in the license. I want you to get get my I lost my driver's license on a trip to Seattle We switched to what frontier airline and they didn't check my boarding pass they check my goddamn license So I lost my license fuckers don't send it to me So I've been trying to get my license now for two weeks I took a gap to the DMV because I thought you've got to go and see the US DMB at least once in your life.

And he was scared, weren't you? Yeah. How many people would you say weren't lying? Like 12, 15? Yeah. And we waited there for about 15 minutes. And the line didn't move. It was like just standing. People were just standing. So I've been back four times now, you know, total, trying to get my license.

I see the line and I was like, fuck it. I'm not doing it. What's the worst that can happen, right? I can't wait to find out. You know, total trying to get my license. I see the line and I'm just like fuck it. I'm not doing it What's the worst that can happen right? I can't wait to find out. Can you take it? Can you I guess you have to do that you can't do that you can't get another copy online You can't make an appointment online. Can you no? No, no, that'd be great or I would I would pay extra money to like go to the front of the line You know, but your pass books by too, right? You don't have that either well That's problem. Well that's a problem. Well I have my passport, which has my picture on it from 10 years ago, which looks nothing like it.

And yeah, it's expired. So I get a little bit of hassle, but I mean, fuck it. I know who I am. I don't need some validation. Screw it. Is it the TSA may require some validation? Have you seen Bernie's passport photo Gavin? I have it.

This Bernie-Face Bernie. This Bernie-8-Bet Bernie a long time ago Gavin? I have, it's this Bernie. This Bernie, this Bernie, eight bet Bernie a long time ago. By the way, speaking of, at seven, seven years of Red versus Blue, right there, speaking of goofy drivers license, Gavin, I went to a bar last week to get a drink and she got carted and he pulled out his British drivers license,

which he was like nine when he took the photo, but I was looking at it, his drivers license doesn't expire until 2058. No, no, no, no, it's a provisional. So this is the one I use while I'm learning to drive. Which you could use until 2058 if you had to. Right, well, it's basically saying, I can learn to drive between now and 2058.

So I've got a lot of free time, not gonna rush. You should keep that, and when you're like 50 years old, use that for your idea. I do it, I'll never let's try I make sure 12-year-old. Yeah, that's amazing. Would you finally do get your real drivers license? You have to turn that provisional one in? Yeah, that sucks. Yeah, don't ever don't ever learn to drive exactly. I mean I've already learned I just need to take a test No, don't take the test. I found I've saved a lot of money by never owning a car

Everyone I know has no money. You think there's people who are 62 and say, fuck, I've got to learn to drive this week. You should wait the last possible minute. I'll take what's wrong with these British assholes that we have in the office right now. They walk on the freaking left side of the hallway. Have you noticed that? Yeah. I'm here. Walk on the right.

They always want to walk right at you. Then do you walk on any particular side? Yeah, they do. Yeah,, they do for sure you walk on the right side. It's obnoxious I'm glad we are having this intervention actually. It's been bothering all of us I'm tired like carry cup of coffee and bumping you bastards. Yeah, Gav just handed me his license and it expires What month is 22? Oh 22nd day of the month may 2058. All right, you know, I have to scan both those in and put them in the link dump now. You're scanning my passport. You can take my picture.

Hey, Gus, it's a charity scan that. Take a great coffee. Every now and then, when I'm filling out paperwork to go to conventions and stuff, I have to go up to Bernie and be like, hey, any social security number, any to scan your driver's license and your credit card? Yeah. Is that quit foreign? Like, I'll convention stuff. He's like He's like okay, you know whenever when I used to do that before you did it I kept in my wallet all of his credit card numbers written down on a Strivers license number for a long time address for a long time. I kept in my desk

scanned images of Bernie's driver's license his social security number and I think credit card information license his social security number and I think credit card information. It was just all scanned that I could just back. It's just more convenient. Technically I've been married to Gus for nine years. I just don't know yet. Bernie doesn't know that I'm his third child. The legally. The thing about working with these guys for so long too is that we all know each other's

passwords as well. Yep, that's true. Except for Gus's. Nobody knows any of Gus's passwords. Do you know, Jeff, do you know Gus's passwords? I do. I know he uses a variation of one of the ones that I use. Yeah, we can, you could probably look mine up

on the website if you wanted to. Oh, probably so. But thinking of that, I use a different one on the website than any other password I use anywhere else. Yeah, our passwords on the website are pretty ridiculous. Yeah, because, you know, just for security purposes. But yeah, like if I'm going to get into somebody's computer here and it's locked and it's a password,

I pretty much know everyone else's. Yeah, we just don't care anymore. Like if we'll go to somebody's, say, is it your F password or your Z password? No, it does. As an option to that, Bernie, it's like it's gotten so bad that I could not remember your password for a long time.

I always remembered it wrong. Right. And then you changed the password you used to my, Bernie. It's gotten so bad that I could not remember your password for a long time. I always remembered it wrong. Right. And then you changed the password you used to my wrong password. That is true. Gus, I had a password that I would use for email. And it's based on something and Gus got it wrong. But I knew how he would get it wrong. So I would try that and sure enough it would work. And eventually I started using the wrong version of my password because the one who Administrates all of our tech here. That's so fucked up. That's pretty fucked up. Yeah. I'm surprised you're okay with everyone knowing it from this Post but like used to be the president of a company where I mentioned security was a big deal but now Security is a big deal here, but I mean it's only six of us and we've known each other for 11 years. Yeah, that's true

I mean I think I can trust these two. I think also when you work in a tech company long enough, you realize how much access that other people have to your stuff, and you just have to have a kind of comfort level with some of it. Now with other people coming to the office, we have to make a pass through the actual physical office and say, okay, let's turn this off, let's move this out of here just because of India stuff.

Yeah, and so that's why it's kind of when people come to see us pop into visit us at the office, it's like, well, hold on a second, stay here and we make a pass because we're kind of used to being able to talk to one another about things and it doesn't matter. I mean, honestly, Gus could come in here in two seconds and put like, what do they call those keystroke capture devices? Yeah.

Yeah, he could do that. And how would I know? Yeah. How do you know if he installed that stuff? To do today. By Keylogger. Like, as a network administrator, could you not log all of our network traffic?

Yeah, I mean, it's already doesn't he? It's on the switch level and on the router both like I could log local and Internet traffic separately. You see exactly where we're going and what we're doing and stuff like that. Oh, that stuff's turned off. How important would that be? Yeah, yeah, I can't imagine possibly wanting to do that. Tech stuff is weird man. Tech stuff's really weird. We heard a story one time about a guy we know without going into too many specific details We heard a story one time about a guy we know without going into too many specific details Where he wrote some software and then the company fired him but through some weird contracting he had to come back and Support for free the software he had written you know for that company. Yeah, that's right That was pretty fucked up and then he I think somebody we knew another person to who had expired if you work in the tech industry

And you put in like timed codes where it's like, oh, the software, because I was fired from the company, it no longer works after like 90 days, you will get in big fucking trouble. Did you did you hear about that guy who was like headed up automating and installing a lot of technology in San Francisco? Then I guess like his company lost the contract. So he'd like changed all the past words and all of their like devices that the city ran on and the entire city of san francisco was like locked out of its own tech infrastructure a judge will send that to jale in about five minutes yet i do did go to jail yeah

they're like you're gonna go sit and sell until you unlock this stuff they think that's a very very seriously yeah he i think he refused to like change the passwords until he was paid like a million dollars or something you know ridiculous like like that I guess he probably thought he was the first person to think of this grand idea like oh now I'm a consultant I'm free and guess what I locked you out of your own system so dumb like it's like a bad comic book villain yeah Don't get any ideas here Gus Did he have himself on a big monitor to his big, now you will do my bidding city of San Francisco.

I bet the DMV didn't move it all. Now that he's once he had him locked out. Yeah. He'll fucking reopen Alcatrache for that motherfucker. Hey Gavin, how do you like in trials HD? I have only played the trial of trials HD. Trial trial trial. And it's great.

Any game where it's purely like relying on physics and you know the the engine It's great like that's why love Gary's mod stuff like that. Have you ever played that? Yeah a little bit It's great, you know love right though any game with the right those great. I didn't know what Charles HD was until yesterday When Gavin showed me and I was like oh, you know This is kind of fun and I played through a bit and Gavin kept laughing how bad I was and He's been Gavin said I bet you can't finish that level without crashing. So I did it I finished level without crashing Look I can I can do it. I can do it faster than you and with style

He tried 15 times in a row and could not do it. Let's cuz I was trying to backflip every jump No, then you started trying to do it easily and you couldn't do it either. Yeah, I already suck it It's a lot of fun there you suck at all video games what I've decided. Yeah, dude We were playing Gavin are playing gears this morning. Oh come on you had some rough moments I I like to point out that we are playing gears of war one on insane which I've already got the achievement for I'm doing this out of love and Trying to help you and all I get is shit whenever I die What Jeff doesn't realize is we're on this part where He was doing really well because all of his dudes were shooting at me.

He's like, why are you sucking? Because they were shooting me. He's just chilling. I was helping you. I was helping you. I had the way we had to set up, I had to spin my first two minutes of that level, killing dudes that were headed towards you. And then at the last minute, switching back to my guys right before the fucking lamb at wretches get me. Well, we did it.

I'm actually really, really loving Giz of War One. I like the fact that I've played Giz 2 and going back to Gears 1 is really good. I can't believe I never played it. It's a great game. You never played it? No, I never did. I watched you play it in the office. And so I felt like I'd played it and I never sat down with it. Because I'd already seen the ending and everything. And they're both very similar games, but they've taken out a lot of stuff

from Gears 2 that was in Gears 1. Yeah. Like, there's no krill. You never fight those guys. I'm okay with that. And they took out berserkers, but it's still a lot of stuff from gears out of gears too that was in gears one. Yeah. Like, there's no krill, you never fight those guys. I'm okay with that. And they took out berserkers, but it's stuff you don't really notice is like the game's

fine without them, I guess people didn't like them in the first one. I guess so. They made good changes without changing the whole game. Like it's the same game. Yeah. I like the krill stuff. I like the level in Act 2 where you have to drive the car through the darkness with the light like Gavin I did that That was a blast. I always remember that being really horrible, but it was okay. Yeah, we've lived through it

It was fun. Let's say one thing that took out of gears one is they took out all the levels between that level and then when you're on the train Have you got to the end yet now we're like chapter four of Act three. So we just went underground. There's literally a cutscene where, was it Phoenix is the main guy? Yeah, he goes, so and so's got the bomb and he's on the train, it's like, what train are you talking about? No, it's like, what train? What bomb?

Yeah. Like, what are they talking about? And it just jumps ahead like four levels. It's like they just must have just cut them straight out of the game. Yeah, yeah. It's really fun. When you get to the the cutscene you'll discover it. Like Bernie, I think Bernie finished like Gears One before I did. Then I got to that cutscene and like we

ended up on the next day and he's like, you know, what do you think? I was like, what the fuck was with with that cutscene? What why was I in a train all of a sudden? Don't worry about it man. Just just play. Well, I never even know. So is the bomb different to the resonator? Yes. Is that what they told me? You don't don't set up the resonator and then there's this other thing The what the bomb on a train because like the main plot of gears is that they set off that resonator thing Which maps the tunnels and it's like a holy shit the tunnels are bigger than we thought and you do that and you do that And you do that and then you're gonna train with the bomb with the bomb, okay, and a bad guy and a big bad guy general ram Ram how do you pronounce that?

Here we are in a retro gaming discussion here rewind but try This has been a horror win by achievement huh? The but you're going back for a second of trials HD trials HD is they say it's a physics-based game But what it is it's you're on a dirt bike motorcycle,, and you're just trying to get through a level like jumping over stuff, and it's a very fun game But it's got some really cool features in it that I wish they would integrate into other arcade games It can you can see at any point in time everyone in your friends list where they are and how you rank with them Yeah, it's really cool. Yeah, and then you can also at any point in time or replay their best mission Yeah, that's kind of like, midter's edge had that too. It also had that cool thing on the time trials

where you can pick another, like, one of your friends like you, and I'll see a ghost of your character and then the king what they do. So I can learn what you did and follow your path. That's cooler, actually. That's really cool. A ghost would be cool. But on the replay, even shows you their controller

and shows you what they're pressing and in what time. Oh, really? Yeah, it shows you like the tip of the stick and the triggers. It's very cool. The other day day Gavina was watching a video where I guess someone was watching like the top 10 scores on one of the games in trials HD and like a mini game yeah it's not a game where you have to break as many bones as possible down down like a hill the top nine videos were all

like people who had glitched and the game had like freaked out a little yeah like they they'd go down they get the head head stuck in the geometry in the body would trip out and flick, like they'd go down, they'd get the head stuck in the geometry and the body would trip out and flickle and they'd break all the bones. But the funniest thing about that video is the guy. The guy who was just watching it. He loved it. Like, come on Teddy.

You ain't got to get like, it's green every time. Yeah. It never got old to him. Yeah, every single time someone's head got stuck and the limbs would stretch out, he'd be in a steric. What the hell man? It was a really funny video. I must have watched it like five times. Sometimes someone's head got stuck and like the limbs would stretch out. He'd be in a steric It was really funny video I must have watched it like five times. It was really fucking funny It is kind of disappointing to know that on leaderboards. I mean you always kind of suspected now

You know for sure. Yeah, it's just a glitch thing marble bless ultra has a lot of that speaking of not a glitch though Jack Patilla I just saw his journal and I watched this little video on YouTube. He's the number one rank in the world on the underground map, I guess. It's fucking crazy to watch. Number one in the country. Number of the country. I guess. How did you know the country? There's no country leaderboard. So I don't know how he knows that. Because it goes by your camera tag. Well, if he's number one in the world, obviously he's number one in the country. Yeah, but Jack, everyone above me goes, The name sounds foreign

I had a I had a weird thing with leaderboards once where I was playing guitar hero I think it was madhouse on guitar hero too and I did the song I'm trying to five star on medium and I landed right next to Jason the world leaderboard Literally we had that we had one point difference between us and it still is Wednesdays like we like I don't know like 40,000 40,000 I don't know one but the chance of landing next to someone with one point difference Or even like recognizing what's doing Recognizing any gamer tech around you a leaderboard. What's even crazier that your scores in metric shame

Standard and you're still in the next to each other But there was something else to say about trials. That's really cool. Oh, oh Yeah, speaking of bad gamers, which by the way, I don't care what you say Jeff. You're the worst game that we know Nope, you're fucking this is true. Well, you're horrible horrible gamer. Nope. You know good at stuff We'll go back to your Easter egg Marvel less ultra video here in a second, but nope on the leaderboards for trials HD It shows the number of times you fault it which is you hit B to restart from a checkpoint or you wrecked your thing and you can go up to 500 times per level and I've got something to like a hundred eighty and I don't care. It's like a bad thing I think the guys around me are like for you know

12 and I'm like 190 I don't care That game will make you furious. I'm never gonna play it. It'll make you hate gravity. It's got an impossible achievement, too What's the impossible to do? It does it sucks. It's called marathon right marathon man or something like that It's yeah, it's just cool. It's to do the whole circuit on what is insane difficult? No, no you play through every level play through every level every level It's one line. It's like big stream levels. Yeah, in one long stream without falling off your bike Oh, holy shit. I think never never once fall off I think that my guy who's got closest fell off like seven times or 12 times or something like that

That's fucking that's dude. You should see some of those higher levels I mean, it's like you're on a bike and there's a pixel and you have to land on the pixel That's it. It's just ridiculous. So would you recommend getting the full game? It's 1200 points. That's kind of a lot for an arcade game. If you want a complete, get 100% game. If that's important to you for achievements, I would say no, don't get it because you can't

get the last achievement. But it's a fun game. Yeah, it's pretty fun. I didn't think I would like it. Everybody should get the trial. And you will know whether or not you like that game by playing the trial. When it was described to me I really thought it was a kind of game. I would hate then I sat down with it. It was a lot of fun. I'm surprised

I didn't think you'd like it. Yeah, but yeah It's a good leaderboard game. So it's Marvel Blast So I went through all of the easy levels of Marvel Blast and my mate I already had the achievements My main goal was just to beat Bernie's time in every single one and I did it now that I know you've done it I will go back and beat you know you won't I will I may. I made sure I beat you by a significant amount. What does that mean? Like it'll be difficult to be significant. Like an imaginary number kind of a significant that I can't achieve. Uh oh telephone. Yeah in that game though you get into like really crazy stuff like using double power-ups and stuff like that. Maybe uh maybe we should have some sort of

contest where if you we'll take the first 20 levels if you can get better than me and over half you win Okay, contest contest. This kind of thing drunk tank was founded on where we're gonna put up. We'll figure something out. Okay I don't know if anyone else cares about this. This isn't trial HD talk, but The spec for HDMI 1.4 was really see other day. It's got ethernet. Yeah, it's got ethernet I think it's by directional so you can plug all your device can communicate with each other plug NVIDIA HDMI and the resolution it supports it supports up to a 4k display now. Yeah, yeah, that's cool for red when he 160. Wow man. It's amazing. It's the same cable. I think the cable will look the same. It's like our USB the same cable. I think the cable will look the same. It's like our USB went from 1 to 2 in the same cable. That's explain this to me because I don't understand it. It seems cool that

they've integrated Ethernet into HDMI because now I don't have to have an Ethernet cable. It seems like I can have all one cable. But why would I want an Ethernet connection from say my Xbox to my TV? I mean, there's no functionality for that yet. So maybe that's why we can't wrap our minds around it. Maybe you could have it so that, you know, for example, your Xbox, let's say like, for example, the next Xbox. Yeah. And this is pure speculation. You could have it so that when you plug in HDMI

from your Xbox to your TV, your Xbox tells your TV, hey, I'm an Xbox, these are the settings I like. And automatically, you know, your TV automatically imports, you know, what resolution to run at, audio settings and things like that. You know, color calibration. Cool. That's just, I mean, that's the kind of thing I would imagine you could do. So in future, could you have networking with HDIMI? Yeah, sure. Like a router with a router with a HDIMI coming out of it. Sure. I think the problem, I mean, you could do that. I wonder how much bandwidth they have dedicated

for the Ethernet portion though. Like I know, I think an HDMI cable has a four gigabit throughput. So I wonder how much you could put through data wise on Ethernet. I'm getting, I say I'm getting a little sick of the Ethernet connectors. They need new connectors for that.

What I'm sick of is the fact that the fucking USB cable is the same with as an RJ45. Yep Jack. We went to Comic Con last year. You know we were printing receipts for customers using my laptop and I had to go away from the booth for a minute so Luke McCay was there and he set up the printer and I came back and Luke McCay was looking. Luke is our comic artist by the way. Luke was saying, oh, the printer's not working. I'm printing stuff and it's just not coming out. And I troubleshot it for a little while and I couldn't figure it out. And finally, I looked at where the USB cable's plugged into the laptop and you had to plug the USB cable into the ethernet port on my laptop.

It feels like you could fit when you do it. It's a perfect fit. If you're not looking, you reach over there and they're right next to each other. I could see why you would do it, but they're not compatible yet. I'm sure you were very compassionate. I had understanding in the moment. Yeah, I was, but it's funny now in retrospect. I picked up a wireless printer that works via ethernet, where it connects directly to my wireless router in my house. So everyone in the house now who's on the wireless network can just print directly to it. Yeah, that's what I have at home. It's awesome. I have one of those little Apple Airport Expresses.

Yeah. And it does the same thing. You put a printer in the Apple Prince Twitter. The Airport Express though, you can also plug in a mini stereo jack so you can stream your iTunes right over it to whatever it's plugged into. So I plug my stereo system for my TV into my airport express. And I can have my audio display out on my speakers. Is there an app for the iPhone that lets you print from it?

There are for selected printers, but most of them require a client running like on a laptop or a PC. Okay, see, there's nothing like direct between just iPhone and print. No, that's probably going to come right? Probably, I mean. The problem is. I want to get more and more ridiculous. That tablet will probably have it.

So then it'll work its way down to the iPhone I imagine. I would love to see it. I think that it's just the file size for having all the drivers for all the printers might be prohibitive. It might take up too much space on your iPhone. Hey, while we're on the subject of iPhone's I have an iPhone question. Gus, is there a way to sync your keychains on your desktop computer to your iPhone? Like, if you wanted to just dump all the wireless networks that you have passwords.

I don't think you can do that. You can sync your keychain with MobileMe, but then I don't think you can sync your keychain back down from MobileMe to your iPhone. The calf just kept it by the cat. What are you doing? I was just striking. Sturking. Maybe you guys talked about the new office cat yet? Yeah, we mentioned it before.

Okay. I mentioned it in the one-on-one with Gus. He's awesome. He's great. Yeah, he's a good kid. He, I think he might have a little bit of face hugger in him from Alien though. Yeah, because every now and then he'll just latch on to you.

Cats do that. They have a threshold where you're petting them and they're happy and they're happy and then they bite you. It's usually the belly rubs though that does it. Nope. That cat hates paper. It does, it'll tear it paper. He's a the belly rub, so that does it. Nope. That cat hates paper. It does, it'll tear it paper. Here's your cat, though.

I get the cat points. That cat also hates its color. I will find its color in the weirdest, most fucked up places possible around this office. I don't know how people put colors in cats, because I've never had a cat that would wear a color. Yeah, I let Brandon do it. He lets me do it.

That's not that big a deal. No, he'll put it on, but then suddenly he'll decide three days from now I don't want this thing on and he'll spend all day trying to tear it off him I found the caller on our arcade legends machine the other day. Yeah, it was like from a joystick, right? Yeah, it was wrapped around the joystick on the arcade legends like he taken it off and hung it up I'm no idea we did that you probably fell off the thing and try to choke himself What is your Michael Hutchins? Are you depressed, buddy? Hey, take it easy.

He listen to our first podcast about David Karrini. Oh, and got a gun inspired. Oh, shit. You know, that talk of HDMI reminded me about something. Did you read that the Xbox Elite bundles are going to be coming with HDMI cables or component cables? Yeah, I did hear that. Kind of sucks. Yeah, I like the HDMI cable that came with the 60 I always thought they were being overly generous giving you an HDMI cable

I agree I did not expect to receive an HDMI cable But I think it's a little weird that they're no longer shipping component cables either that can't possibly be sure So what does it come with nothing? It's the composite really? I mean that I saw I saw that on joystick. I don't know that these bundles are out in the wild yet. So I don't know. I haven't seen confirmation firsthand. And that's just the pro, the elite.

The elite. The pros been discontinued. Oh, so the elite is not going to. The elite replacing the pro. Wow. I watched an unboxing video of the PS3 Slim on IGN, and it does not have, once again, HDMI or component either. The PS3 Slim on IGN and it does not have once again HDMI or component either. The PS3 is a piece of shit. Does it come with USB to make your

controller? That's why I bought a PS3 when they first came out. It does not even come with the fucking mini USB cable to charge your controller. You would have to have. And then if you buy a controller that doesn't come with the cable either. Really? I bought an extra controller for my PS3 no cable and you can't replace the batteries in a PS3 controller You have to use the internal rechargeable luckily. It's like a standard. You know, it's a mini USB to USB-A connector But out of the box. I wouldn't have one of these it doesn't work. No The PS3 slim or the other they call it the slim it is the new PS3. Mm-hmm. It does have it Okay, well, that's good. It did have a mini USB cable in there.

It also had a very nice power cord, not a power brick or anything it's just a cord. So that's very attractive about that PS3. Yeah the old PS3 was like that too. It's just a power cord. Yeah it's nice. That's nice. I don't like that big brick.

Do you think people are gonna complain about the lack of cables on the elite though? Because anyone who buys a printer now, they don't get USB cables. No, like I said, I always thought the HDMI cable was being overly generous, but the difference is the USB cable is standard. It used to be a parallel cable, now it's a USB cable,

the Xbox cable is not standard. You don't get just generic component cables and plug them into the back of your Xbox. Right. You have to get that special connector to plug in your Xbox that comes out as component cables. HDMI standard though. HDMI is a standard, which is why I'm not upset that they're taking it away. I say, okay. Okay. It's when you create a proprietary connection type and then don't give the cable that I get annoyed. Yeah, or may or don't provide something that's absolutely necessary to run it out of the box. Right. Like, I

don't know how Sony could possibly ship something where a kid could get on Christmas morning and they can't run it Because they don't have the cable to charge it. I mean that'd be a nightmare And then where you're gonna go on December 25th to get a damn mini USB cable. Yeah That's terrible the answer nowhere Come to my house. I got plenty of them. Yeah I got like boxes filled with cables HDMI is still pretty expensive there, right? Nope. Is it not you can buy Kenny pet or see me You can buy cables for a penny on Amazon

Yeah, you have pretty long HDMI cables in your in your like cinema room, right? I do Yeah, I have a thing. I have a one that runs 19 feet. That must have been expensive. That was like 400 bucks That's for the bucks on a cable They do it also made the cable to do to install your AV stuff, right? Yeah Yeah, yeah, maybe we's even more than 400 bucks for the's 400 bucks on a cable. That dude also made the cable, the dude who installed your AV stuff, right? Yeah, yeah. Maybe he's even more than 400 bucks for the cable. The cable was ridiculously expensive. It's a good cable though.

Yeah, if you still can. If you do, it is a good cable because behind the wall, and I haven't thought about that cable. No, that's awesome. If you go to Best Buy or like a retail store, they'll, you know, charge you out the ask for and issue my cable, but if you're patient, you can just buy it from Amazon. We bought a couple From M wave, I think and they worked okay one of them we had trouble with and they were super long they were like

10 foot long each of my cables. I think I paid like three bucks for each of them. Jesus really? That's awesome. Yeah, is that it then? I mean HDMI's we're done at this point, right? It's audio and video and now ethernet all in one cable. That's it. We don't need any more video cables. I hope so. It's enough for me. You're gonna sound dumb for saying that in 10 years time. It'll be wireless eventually. Why isn't audio and video wireless?

Not enough throughput, too much interference. Like the spectrum you would use is already in use by so many other things. Spectrum. You would have to, it would have to frequency hop so much or make a new spectrum. Yes, let's make it, let's make a new spectrum. Do you such a nerd. Wireless speakers made sense. We didn't, I don't know why we didn't have those, and now we do. Um, those are, yeah. Those don't work that great. They don't work that great.

You are correct. That's a, that's a, that's a bandwidth problem. And Matt will let you throw them away. We still have those fucking things, don't we? I'm pretty'm pretty sure we do we do but I cut the cables off of them If I'm at his late to the office today He has a morning commitment we should throw away everything we want to throw away That's a good call Matt will not let us throw it away We bought a safe a fire safe to put our hard drives in so that if we have a fire I'm paranoid about Data loss and we can talk about the sites downtime this week while we're talking about this, but we bought a fire save to store our hard drives

that have our backed up production episodes on them. So in case it's a fire, we'd have a save with the hard drives in it. Of course, the save will probably fall through the floor of the building bird down and all the hard drives will be wrecked inside anyway, but they wouldn't be burned though. Well, they wouldn't burn. They would not be burned. We broke the safe probably in the first 15 minutes. They had it. Yeah, maybe 15. We might have broken it, pulling it out of the box. I mean, it was pretty instant. Yeah, we got it open once. And then the handle felt weird on it.

It was like a plastic handle on a metal safe. Yeah, it was so weird. And then so weird. And then we, and then we try to get it over again, we change the code, got it over again, and then it's ground, likely we didn't put anything in it the first time we opened it. So now we have this enormous 250 pound metal cube that does nothing, because we can't open it in any way. Matt will not let us get rid of it. That's true.

He just won't. It's unacceptable to him to get rid of this thing. Is it depends? It depends. His defense, I once tried to take it out and throw it away and you stopped me. I don't remember that. I pulled it out of the room.

Yeah, it might have been within the first 30 days. It was very shortly after we bought it. When the illusion was, somebody was gonna call and get this safe fixed under warranty. Never happened. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Speaking of throwing stuff away, I meant to tell you guys this yesterday.

When I went to lunch yesterday, I saw a homeless lady in the most interesting shirt I've ever seen. It said it had the front of this is the worst shirt ever of all time on it. And then on the back, it had a bunch of Jesus slogans. And then there was another like

some sort of corporate logo on the bottom right of the front. It was like a test shirt? It was like a test shirt from Amplifier. Those are the guys that put in our t-shirts. And I guess they just reuse the test shirts, different portions of the shirt. And then when it's done, they give it to Goodwill. Oh good.

I'm assuming. But yeah, so there's this homeless lady walking around with a half Red versus Blue worst shirt ever of all time, half religious quote shirt. That's probably the most valuable shirt they've made. It's pretty interesting, yeah. Definitely one of a kind. Sal and Abe, I'm this lady.

If you like Jesus Ann RVB you should look this lady up She's got the shirt for you I'm speaking of homeless ladies you finally got to see the homeless lady that kicked me the other day. Oh, dude you're walking out of the car She was yelling at me again. I know she doesn't like you What did she say she walked up to me and said yeah, you talk shit. I'll talk shit to and then just keep going and I was like what the fuck are you doing? two and then just keep going and I was like, what the fuck are you doing? You're just going to say, look lady, you're crazy. You know, you've got to bring him down to earth. You have done earth.

You've got great luck with homeless people. Remember that run we had? I think we made a comic book. Oh man. We used to have three different homeless ladies boobs in like two weeks. It was within a week. It was terrible. It was terrible.

And that was bad enough. You saw one boob or one seven. One boob. I saw that's when I were walking the lunch and we saw a homeless couple making out and her boob was out. I've never actually seen both of a homeless ladies boobs at the same time. I only ever see one at a time Yeah, I don't know why that is but it's only ever one that's hanging out or did you take Set-propictures and then combine them in Photoshop Look at it in stereo like a slightly offset. It looks like a 3D

Crushed rise Look past it. I like a just slightly offset so it looks like a 3D HD. Gonna crush your eyes. We'll look past it. I watched that angry homeless lady. I watched her yesterday walk into the coffee shop. They have free water there. Get herself a cup of water, walk outside and immediately throw it on the ground. She never took a drink out of it. She just locked in, filled it up and took it outside.

It was like ammunition and then she chucked it. Yeah, she's a... She's trying to match that anger. I want to throw something, I have nothing to throw. It's kind of like that dude restoring the bakery where he came in without a shirt on. To try and get a job and when he was sent away, he spat on the door and walked out. That's, you see? They dodged the bullet there.

They dodged the bullet. That was one of the most surreal moments ever. He just, he had, didn't have a shirt on. He walked in, mad, and he goes, where's the manager? And the manager comes up and goes, I'm He just, he had, didn't have a shirt on, he walked in, mad, and he goes, where's the manager? And the manager comes up and goes, I'm the manager, he goes, you're not the manager, I want to talk to the other dude. And he goes, that's the night manager, sir.

He doesn't come in until six. And he goes, well, call him on the phone, because I talked to him about a job, and I'm ready to start working. And he goes, I'm going to have to ask you to put your shirt on, sir, this is a restaurant. And he goes, what? I'm not doing that.

And he goes, maybe you could come back at six when the night manager comes in Can I give you this resume and he goes I'm not filling that out and He goes okay sir. Well if you want to talk to the night manager you have to come back at six Manager leaves guy starts mumbling to himself walks to the door goes this is bullshit Hawks a huge Louie on the front door and then leaves. I wonder if the night manager hired him I don't know. Wow. Be awesome if he did. He got intimidated by him.

He's like, I think it'll work out. Maybe the night manager had like two weeks left. And he wants to do as much damage before he leaves as possible. In his special skills, he wrote, fast learner. Good communication. Dude, on a resume, never put fast learner. Just assume that you want to assume in the world

that you're a fast learner. And if we sit you down and train you to do one thing, you should be able to learn to do that one thing. Instead of putting not retarded. Yeah, just putting not retarded. I have common sense. I haven't killed myself to date. I have not spent on your door yet.

I have spent on your door right. I did. I did not wear a your door yet. I have spent on your door right. I did. I did not wear a shirt to the internet. That was like one of your first times in America, too, guys. Yeah, it was like a good introduction. It was like three, two years ago. Also on that trip, we had another great American moment

where we were out at this place called Hula Hut, which is a restaurant on the lake, and we were standing by the lake at a little park. You griffin' million eye, and we were talking, and we asked what your, like, what, the average British person's, I guess, like, view of Americans is. And my response was fat and loud, right?

Yeah, you said fat, loud and obnoxious. And we think all Americans are fat, loud and obnoxious. And Griffin and I were like, well, obviously, you can see that that's not the case. And on cue, a speedboat pulled up with three drunk fat dudes with no shirts on oh like Sunburned with a cooler and some crazy redneck lady comes running up Behind us with a case of beer in a hands it goes I got the beer and the guys are like oh

Fuck yeah party time and they cranked up heavy metal she stumbled into it and they Sped off with the loudest music you've ever seen getting drunk and like throwing beer cans in the water And yeah, just get just turn and looked at us and we were like well Sounds awesome. Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say but that scene sounds a hundred percent more awesome than anything that's ever happened in That's true. That's all I want to do now in life Get on a boat with beer that woman with the beer turn out to be Susan Boyle And now you know the rest of the story you guys always make Susan Boyle referencing I have no idea who she is I didn't I don't watch any TV I don't know who she is she's a goddamn

national treasure she's ugly and she can see so she's she's like the retarded woman who can who has a nice voice she's's retarded. Oh really? Yeah, okay. Well, how it sets it? What do I know? Jesus wait a minute. Where did you really conversation? You really don't know she is we don't know I mean we don't know I would see like soap stars from the UK on You know these tabloid magues and no clue who they are I have no clue either but the chicks over there left to get topless all the time So I imagine I imagine the only soap star you guys would have heard of is Barry off Very famous from from extras, right you do you have what shex

risk. No sorry. How is a great show. We saw Barry and something recently too didn't we Barry from EastEnders. You know when you see other countries celebrities it really does destroy your idea of what it is to be famous. It's like who is he fucking people. Yeah. Why are they in the cover magazine. You know here it's like we have a context for them. It's like of course Jennifer Aniston is famous. Right. Of course people are interested in what she's doing. But you see like Philip Ganderbaum from fucking England on the cover magazine. Who the fuck is this guy? Like the dorky old guy that hosts every show in England that Bernie and I

have never heard of. But every time we watch a different show he's the host. Who's that guy? Oh you're talking about when we're watching Total Wipeout, in the room. Which over here I found is called Wipeout. Hosted by Richard Hammond, who works- Yeah, Richard Hammond hosts every show in the history of the game. He's not an old guy, he's like, foie. He works on Top Gear, and I've worked with him before. Oh, that dude.

I know. And you were in the hotel room in Amsterdam, you're like, why do I keep hearing this two's voice? Because he's on every commercial and every TV show in England It's free. You know our celebrities can be on magazine covers anywhere in the world Not that's not true. It does does not work the other way around You know there's another one on that Amsterdam trip There was an American lady who had a talk show in England and I had never heard of her

And I was like who's this American lady? I've never heard of and you said she was famous and she was married to some rich British dude Oh, Ruby wax. No, no idea who you waxed. Nobody's a Ruby wax. Ruby wax. Yeah, she's a she's married to Ed by who like directed every He directed like every sitcom that's like a classic sitcom like Red dwarf She's American and she's famous in England and nobody in America's ever heard of her never seems weird to me So when you watch a British sitcom, what do you think the comm stands for now? It's just how to create honesty. Is it communication?

What sitcoms specifically are you afraid to? It's not commitment, because all sitcoms only last like, it's episodes over there, right? Never seen a funny British sitcom ever in my life. Have you ever seen Fulti Towers? Maybe the office. I have seen Faulty Towers.

You didn't find that funny. I didn't find it funny. How many episodes did you watch? I watched enough to start to like kind of like it. Well that's the classic American approach. Dude, you gotta give it a good 20 or 30 before you get into it. And what's the British approach? We all know what you talk about. Just fucking deal with it. I've only got three channels, so there's no else to go. At least I'm not outside. We have series where there's like six episodes for a season. How is that difficult to watch? You can watch six episodes, you don't.

You have the office, the US one. That took like two seasons to get good. How did you watch through like 48 episodes for it to get good? The British office is funny. And there's only I take and there's only 12 episodes. It's quite it's quality of a quantity is extras of funny Is it a British podcast or means you mean a British sitcom? Yeah, it is it's not American. No, it's not for HBO It's for HBO, but it's all it's all with English actors in its shot in England. Okay. So that makes it English, right? It would it would But for a mate, but geared for American audiences. Well, it was only geared to American audiences for the Christmas special and they had two versions. They had an

American version and a UK version. Because there's so many UK references where Americans just wouldn't get it because I talk about Barry Offie's standards and stuff. The Ricky Javage podcast is a freaking ride though. That's not your Nathan's always telling me, Nathan's always trying to get me to the subscribe to it. I agree. Of all the stuff that Gervais has done, like the office and extras, his podcast is the best thing he's ever done. And actually, technically, his radio show, before he was famous,

is the best thing he's ever done. Because the podcast is just recycled stuff from that. It's him, Stephen Merchant, who's the tour guy in extras. He's like six for seven co-producer. And another guy who's fucking stupid But the other guy the other guy is what makes it. He's this dude He's this manc dude. He's from Manchester. He's northern dude in England, which means he's stupid. Sorry north and He is that he's the funniest guy in the world. He doesn't even know it. Carl Pylking. Yeah, so funny

You should get it on iTunes. It's so funny. So funny. So funny. You guys doing your James Frank's? Yeah. So funny. I don't know how we started doing that like three years too late.

Three years too late. Yeah. So good. So good. So we get some pie for lunch. James Frank is a funny dude man. He is a funny dude. He's a, you know, Jack was betting me that the goods goods was gonna be district nine last week. What's the goods?

Oh no way. The good is a Jerry Pimiv in the Pimiv movie. Is the trailer out? The best trailer in the world. That trailer sucks. The scene I showed you with Will Ferrell. Yeah, oh, is that not the trailer? God, that's funny. We have to leave that. That will Ferrell clip is so friggin fun. Will Ferrell clip from the goods? Yeah, I'll show it to you guys. I haven't seen it. Oh, dude. If we described it or build it up too much, you won't be f**king excited.

It's funny because you can tell he was just coming up with stuff. Be out on the spot. He's the only guy who had his wisdom teeth. Hey, guess I'm saying it. Hey, did that movie come out? Yeah, it came out. It opened in like six, I think. Oh, it doesn't have his wide of a release as District 9 I think, but still, I mean, I

would never, even if I had the same release, I wouldn't have claimed there that the goods would be District 9. You're talking a difference of like 200 theaters. Oh, is it only that small? I thought the goods opened like at 50% of the city. District 9 did really, really well, and then it did 5 million on Monday. It's up to 42 and a half million. I really want to see that.

I wouldn't be surprised. District 9 did more money next weekend than it did the first weekend. It'll be interesting. Yeah, I think it'll top out around 80, but we'll see. Jeff, what did you think of District 9? It was built up a little bit too much for me, I think, and it wasn't helped that I saw it at the Alamo who does great stuff, but one thing they did to this movie was that they showed the trailer for Alien Nation before District 9. And so I had Alien Nation in my head the entire movie, so I was forced to compare District 9 to Alien Nation. had it, I had alienation in my head the entire movie so I was forced to compare District 9 to alienation. Yeah, that's how I was afraid of it. It seems like I was still on a scene District 9, but

it seems like the premise is a, it's kind of similar. It's pretty similar. And I wish that they hadn't done that because it just set the wrong tone for the movie for me. Do the aliens just just nine drinks boiled milk and do they like dissolve in the ocean? They don't drink spoiled milk, but they have something like that. They have like a thing. I don't want to spoil it for it, but it's like, you're not going to ruin anything because it's not that big a deal. Yeah, it's not that big a deal, but it's a similar thing like that. They do things in District 9 that seems like

they're going out of their way to intentionally mimic alienation. It does. Like, there's things they mentioned, especially early in the movie, that they just never come back to. And there was no point to mentioning them and it just made it more similar to Alienation. I will say it was a gorgeous movie, and it's an amazing that he was able to do the stuff. He didn't have fun for $30 million. It's a great looking movie. It's a great movie.

It's a great movie. I'm a fortune one to me. You know, the place I'm staying at in Cedar Park is right next to the Alamo Lake Creek, maybe. Oh, that's great. Maybe I'll go over and watch it. I thought it was incredible. I can't believe that Jeff is even on the fence about it.

I was thinking about something, as I was watching it. You once said, I think we're talking about I am legend or something. And you said, you at no point did you find any of the weird creature things believable? I did not. Did you find the alien, the prawns believable? I did. I did. Because I remember looking at the first shot where you see them, where it's the footage of them in the ship. And I was like, they were less believable at the beginning, as opposed to later when it was just like Christopher Johnson. Right.

They became more believable as time went on. Okay. I was interested to see what you think about that. There was never a moment where I am legend where I thought I was looking at something that should be on the screen ever. Because it just stood out. It was just like what I was obviously.

They did stand out. Yeah, they did. How so what did you think of it Gavin? I thought it was okay. I agree that it was it was built up by everyone around me. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it less It was a great looking movie. I'm not sure I'd want to see it again. Yeah I also thought the lead actor was unbelievably incredible and that that can make a break that movie for you Jeff said he didn't like the lead actor. Yeah, well I think he acted very well

I just didn't think he was a compelling character. Like, I never- You're like the lead character, then I'm sorry. Yeah, I didn't like the lead character. The guy did a great job acting the role. He really did, especially for somebody who's not an actor. Yeah, he was like, just a thanks guy, right? Yeah, right, or he was a producer.

He was a producer. I would do a, did a fantastic job, but if you can't get behind the main character, and you don't like- Yeah, you got trouble. Understand with this plight, then it's just hard to to care, you know Yeah, I went to a screening here in town where neo-Belom camp was there and his name is Charl Toe Copley And they were both there and did a Q&A afterwards and it was just amazing the stuff they talked about really Yeah, does he really have that South African accent? No, it was really cool because you didn't think about that and it was Harry

Noles the guy from any cool news that was moderating the Q&A. And one person said, this came up in the movie. How did you guys have discussions about this? Like it was about inner species prostitution. One of the things that made it similar to alienation. Yeah. And, uh, and Neil goes, yeah, we had conversations about it. We thought, how would that work?

And how would that be? Like, and Harry said, do you want to have that conversation right now? And I guess Charlottes thought he was saying like, like a that work and how would it be like? And Harry said, do you want to have that conversation right now? And I guess Charlton thought he was saying like, like a scene kind of a thing. And Charlton goes, Charlton goes, sure, okay. And he turns off and he goes, what's wrong with you? Why would you set in front of all the E-Activity was fantastic. I love the accents. It's a very funny accent But it bothered me whenever he said fuck like he said what the fuck?

Fookin Fookin and and that just really stood out. It felt like it didn't belong in the accent really Yeah, did you see when you try to say no one watch blood diamond? No, I never saw but I heard Leonardo DiCaprio's accent was pretty all over the place Yeah, Leonardo DiCaprio's got a crazy accent in that movie. Okay, I was a little bit off. I was a little bit off. I'm gonna correct myself. The goods opened on 1800 theaters.

Yeah, that's why I thought. District 9 opened on 3000. And the goods made 5 million and District 9 made 37 million. Yeah. Yeah. If you do the math, it's still no comparison. No comparison at all. I don't want to derail too much here, but there is something that I want to talk about with box offices weekend

Which I thought was very very interesting that no one seems to be mentioning and can I talk about this? Yeah, why not? Okay, you know, ashtag kuchester is the number one dude on Twitter right and Twitter is right now like the Darling of the internet. Oh, I like where this is going right? So he's the number one dude He's got 3.2 million followers on Twitter 3.2 million. That's 1% of the US Yeah, okay, I'm sure he's got some foreign dudes in there and I'm sure he's got a Tone of odds that follow him to for me in the number one dude get a movie that opened this weekend Right so if Twitter is this big driving force now it should be a huge thing for marketing his movie while it only opened in about a hundred theaters It made a hundred and twelve thousand dollars over the course of the entire weekend

It's only a hundred theaters though. Yeah, what's that? What's the average per theater? So I broke it down on the on the average that means about 10,000 people went to see it and based on ticket prices That was eight people per theater per showing wow So if you went into a movie there would be eight people per theater per showing. Wow. So if you went into a movie, there would be eight people in the movie theater. Wow. Yeah.

So, I mean, just as a percentage of him, and, you know, geographically, it was in bigger cities, and I was reading like his Twitter's like saying, go see the movie, we're trying to get more theaters, all that stuff pushing it, and then just nothing, not even a blip on the radar.

It opened in 34th. Ooh. It opened behind year one this weekend. You know, it opened behind a movie called Paper Heart. I mean, you know what that is. Oh, that's the Michael Sera Charleney movie. Yeah. It opened behind under the C in 3D,

which is in 40 iMac's theaters. I have no idea what that is. Yeah. So I thought that was interesting. You know what I mean? It's like, what is really the value of having the number one spot on Twitter then? And it goes back that what I said don't understand is when I asked a culture was racing CNN on Twitter and everyone's like oh action has to meet CNN people aren't like

I know you ever talks about action could you know what I mean so why is he the number one dude on Twitter I mean clearly here's a movie he's in that's opening it's like what's the connection why do people want to follow this guy and if they don't want to go see his movies. They mean more is asked. I mean that's a good point right? I could definitely have something to do with it. I mean if you follow to be more than you're not gonna get pictures of her ass but you follow him you might get him. Yeah like I said. Follow her you get pictures of Ashton Kutcher's ass. It also opened behind number 21 which was the Hurt Locker which was a movie about Iraq that I saw, which was awesome movie.

I heard that was really good. Really good war movie. So you should go see it. Some of the combat scenes and that are ridiculous. Oh really? Yeah, I heard that it's like got some early Oscar attention, maybe. So I could see that. Yeah, I would like check it out. Speaking of movies though, Gus, Transformers, I don't think it's gonna make it to 400 million. I've been rooting for it ever gonna make it to 400 million. I've been rooting for it ever since we saw it get close. Why?

I just think it would be great for that movie to make 400 million dollars. If it's gonna make $380 million, why not break the 400 million more? I'm glad it's not. Dude, it's at $3.97. I'm glad it's not. I want to do it. Anything that gets that close, I want to see. Get to that next fucking roll over the dial.

What else is doing well? The hangover, when anyone cared, I guess, with the hangover. 266. You nailed it, dude. 266 million dollars. And it was still 11th last week. That movie's made 400 million worldwide.

Yeah. Did you even like that movie? I saw the hangover in the wrong theater. I saw it in a theater in Seattle, where Matt and I went, and it was $57 for the two of us to buy tickets to the movie theater. And we had our own huge lazy boy and a waiter. No wonder they made so much money. We had to pay $27 to see a movie.

Well, Jesus. But it was called a gold class theater and it was just incredible. We had a waiter. We could push a button, a guy would come with blankets and pillows and stuff. We went to a theater very similar to that in Wellington, you and I. We did. We saw a match point there. But this, that was like a box seating that we had. This was the whole movie theater. So did that stop you from enjoying the movie?

Well, it's weird when you're in a comedy like that, and you're not with a big audience, and there's only about 20 other people in the room, and then a big moment happens, like Mike Tyson punches somebody, and I'm like, that's funny, and I hear some dude, one dude, go. Ha, ha, ha, and it's like, it doesn't feel the same, it's not the same feeling as you know, a ripple of people like that

That's why I like seeing movies in America because people don't laugh as much in England It's just embarrassed I guess But a weird thing I've discovered is that people will clap People give applause to the end of a movie What's the point in that? You're all having a guitar. What's that? Who you clapping?

What's that? Who you clapping? For the star who's there in Cognito. I mean, if it was a screening with the direct to their, you know, obviously clap. But... You're just showing your appreciation. Why not? Let's clap right now.

Yay! Like one time? One time Gus and I saw Man on the Moon. And Jim Carrier was actually in the theater. Back when he was dating an Azeleger. Do you remember that? No, you think of someone else I've never seen. I thought it was you and I thought we got that early screening together. You were in the same room as Jim Carrier. Yeah, he was a couple of rows back and I clapped because the dude was there. You want to make it look good? Yeah, because he was there. When I landed in Austin, you never know. They clapped. Well, well passengers in the plane clap. They were happy a lot Yeah, that's some there's yeah, that's weird that too much

I mean, I imagine if if he was dodging a lightning storm and like He landed a plane. This is job. He does it hundreds of times a day a week Wow, okay, all right, man, mr. Sourpuss I thought I was in a bad mood. Gaveenal over here. I'm just saying clap when it's necessary When is it necessary to clap? When you really need to clap, you don't need to clap the playing landing. That sporting events when your team scores a goal?

Yeah. There you go. When Arsenal beats whoever the fuck else? He's a totting me. He's a totting me. Arsenal, my name is his team. Okay. When they beat your team.

The year a big football fan, and when somebody scores a goal in football, it's like the end of the damn world. People are taking off their clothes, they're a big football fan and when somebody scores a goal in football. It's like the end of the damn world People are taking off their clothes that run around screaming because it only happens once a season All right, we got anything else to cover before we wrap this up Yeah, what's going on this weekend in glorious bastards coming out you guys Shit, is it coming out? I'm so fucking backlogged on movies. Yeah, I gotta go see that. I want to see the time travelers wife that looks pretty cool to me. I heard some, so people say some good stuff about that movie.

Here's what I'm trying to work right now and I'm going to say this is my wife. My lovely wife of nine years never listens to the podcast. God bless her. Our anniversary dinner. I'm trying to work it out so that we can go down to San Antonio, which is an hour away from where we live and there's a nice river walk where we can have dinner. But what I'm trying to work out is they're showing 20 minutes of Avatar at the IMAX down there. Oh. And not here, and not in Austin,

so I'm trying to work out getting her down to see that. She would never in a million years see a movie like Avatar, never. Yeah, but you can be like, look, this movie's not even out yet, how special. I'm like, oh, you know it's weird. We had these reservations and they're at 9 30 at night and For whatever reason and look look at this it turns out we can go see got some time to kill Yeah, we can go see this movie, so we'll see what happens that sucks

They're not showing it in Austin. It's stupid. It is stupid fuckers. You know what else I'm gonna start hate Like San Antonio's a huge film community. You know, San Antonio is the 10th largest city in the nation But still give me a braille. I mean, it's not like they're it's not like they're trying to fill a friggin theater Yeah, and there's a big eye Max. Yeah, it's ridiculous. It's an Austin, Texas. Hey man brother. Hey, man What the hell right? I'm coming in our door. I wonder where they are showing it. What's up, home? Here's a problem. I've got to is that I guess Austin because it's such a tech boomtown And is so dependent on like the economy going up and down and we're now at a downturn in the economy We're starting to lose a lot of direct flights that we would normally have to other cities Yeah, we we have lost a lot of flights that sucks, dude going to Seattle for packs is gonna be a fucking trek for us

Dude we lost San Jose we lost Seattle. We just were about to lose Toronto Yep, Toronto's going away. It sucks. Which means we got to connect through Dallas, which makes every flight like two and a half hours longer. Going to Pax, we're connecting through San Francisco. Fuck what? Can you even do that?

Why would you do that? We're connected through San Francisco, they're coming back, we're connecting through Houston. When Matt and I came back from LA, thank God that's still a direct flight, even though it's on fucking Southwest, which is like a bus with wings. We connect, we land in Austin and they say, if you're staying on the plane, connecting through with us to Dallas, just staying in your seat and we'll count. I'm like, who are the idiots who booked a flight that connects through Austin? How do you even do that? You know, when we came back from Comic Con, we flew Southwest.

It was a, because that doesn't feel the flight nonstop San Diego to Austin. And I got up to use the bathroom And I looked at the flight manifest in the in the galley back there and that plane in one day See if you can remember this. Yeah, we had we took off pretty early from San Diego It had already flown from Oakland to San Diego is going from San Diego to Austin Austin to Dallas Dallas to Lubbock Lubbock back to Dallas Dallas to Houston Houston Orlando That was one day in that plane's life Dallas to Lubbock, Lubbock back to Dallas, Dallas to Houston, Houston Orlando. That was one day in that plane's life.

That's a busy day. Yeah, I'll say, I can pick all the places in the world where I want to land a plane. Lubbock is none of them. That's got to be the flattest, driest, hottest part of Texas. Landing a plane there must be just like practicing crashing, essentially. No, we're just going to a quick crashing drill here real quick. I don't know if you guys have noticed, maybe you guys when you fly back in Austin where we've had now, what is it, 50 days over 100 degrees? Yeah.

This is my angry part of the podcast, but landing in Austin now, you can tell when you're getting close because a turbulence just is going crazy. It's unbelievable how rough landing thing Austin are now. Yeah, I can't wait for the summer to be over. I can't even begin to discuss it. You guys fly a lot. Do you ever get nervous when this turbulence? No, never.

I like it better because it's something to do. The only time I ever came close to getting nervous, Gus and I were flying back from South Carolina from the Vendor Levertime, and it was at night. And I looked at it at the wing, sitting in the in the just sitting by the wing and there was like black ooze dripping out of the wing It like bubbled up and and it was also Ducks there was also duct tape. Yeah, they're on the wing Air line. Oh is American right? No, no, it was like a regional carrier for continental

We just laughed it laughed it off, but I was pretty sure we were going to die. The worst turbulence we've ever had was when you and I were flying down in New Zealand, I think, on that quanta flight for an hour. Yeah, it was pretty bad. It was rough. It was a heavy turbulence for an extended period of time. Max Brainer's trail mix. Is Drone Tank making everybody hungry? Why? That's not cap for Joe. That's a sound of time. Matt's brain is trail mix. There's drunk tank making everybody hungry. Why? Let's bring it over here. That's not catfish, Joe. That's a sound of a delicious snack.

I'll put some of your nuts in my mouth. Come on. But, you know, I've never really gotten nervous flying. However, one time, for some reason, I did have like a mini freak out on a plane. When I was flying back from Japan, like three years ago. Woman. I was sitting there and then like all of a sudden like halfway over the Pacific I was like I need to get off the plane and I was like oh shit and then like the rational part of

my brain was like oh shit don't do this now and then so I went to the bathroom and I locked myself in the toilet for like half an hour like trying to calm myself down and eventually like I calm myself down so okay I can go sit down you know what boy oh nothing nothing that's not like you at all there was no turbulence the flight was going fucking smooth I was coming home everything was fine You know what? Boor it on. Nothing. Nothing. That's not like you at all. There was no turbulence. The flight was going fucking smooth. I was coming home. Everything was fine.

All of a sudden I freaked out. You know, Jason went through a period where just out of the blue he didn't like the fly anymore and it made him nervous. And it lasted for like six months and then he was fine again. Mm-hmm. That's what they call that. They call that a moment of clarity. You're like, holy fuck, this is my life.

I'm in a metal tube 35,000 feet over an ocean. Yeah. Those are your moments of rationality when you're like, what the fuck am I doing? I've seen lost. You know, gravity works. I've seen evidence my entire life. That's fucking plain. Bullshit. Gravity's been around a lot longer than this plane has.

That's exactly right. That's exactly right. I was used to think about how bad it be if you survived a plane crash and then got trampled by people freaking out in the plane. Not trying to get out. That'd be the worst thing. Or dying with smoke inhalation. Yeah. You got a lot of ground. Yeah.

You remember that flight that crashed or was it in Sioux City? Everyone thinks of that plane that comes in. It's the one that lost all its hydraulics. Yeah. Delta Airlines. Tumble the grossly. There were a lot of the people who died of that flight for smoke inhalation deaths. Good.

I cannot imagine that. You get on a plane? I, I, I've flown, I don't ever get nervous. I know exactly where the exits are. I know how many rows I am from the exit. I just do stuff like that. When we, we used to be a get maybe before 9-11, we could carry pocket knives.

Nope. And I would take my pocket knife out and I would put it in the seat back thing in front of me, but like on the outside, clip it so I could grab it if I had to. Yeah, I had a leather man. I used to do the exact same thing if I had to cut myself out of my seatbelt Have we have we talked on the podcast about the flight? I took with Matt a couple weeks ago to come. Come on. Did we ever discuss that?

I don't think so I got on a flight with Matt. We went through security He got pulled he got his bag pulled and they went to go through it and I stood there for a minute and ladies like Do you have anything you need to tell me about in your bag? And he's like no. And then the lady pulled out a knife like a pocket knife and that goes oh that's weird. I guess I left that in my bag and I didn't even realize I had it. And she's like no problem. Made him go through again, flagged his bag again, had a second knife in his bag.

He tried to fly with two knives in his bag. I'm surprised he's not in jail. They were really cool about it. He should be. But he should be. I'm going to do try to go through with two knives in his bag. I'm surprised he's not in jail. They were really cool about it. He should be. But he should be. I'm gonna do try to go through with two knives. Then he immediately went and got like a large coffee and spilt it all over the ground. He was having the worst morning ever.

It was hilarious. It sounds real. Gosh, you weren't a security line one time when they did a bomb drill. Oh my God, that was the worst thing ever. I think it might have been that same flight when we're going in New Zealand. It was in the International international terminal at LAX and

I was getting close to the metal detectors Then all of a sudden like some dude was going through the metal detector and he ran through it instead of walking through it and The security guards all yelled something this you know Like something something something they yelled it and I turned on my wife and I said did he yell bomb bomb bomb or run run run I stopped for a second. I said I guess it doesn't matter really either way All the security personnel disappeared. Yeah, they all like went into rooms They're like all the stuff started happening and they left all the passengers there by themselves Yeah, and then they came they came back out and they're like oh, it was just a drill. What the fuck?

Morning for us, you know, no everybody a drill. I was like, what the fuck? He's like, yeah, a little warning for us. You know? No, everybody stay calm. We would have been just fine. Yeah, I was like, security. No one tackled the dude. They just laid, they like ran into like reinforced bunkers and like close the door.

Yeah. You guys are all dead. All the, all the cattle are dead. But the ranchers are dead. A couple of years ago when Jason and I were flying to the UK, we had to connect to Chicago. We flew Austin, Chicago to London. And our flight in Chicago was delayed, like every flight there.

Except they said it was delayed because there were mechanical issues with the plane. So we had to wait an hour and a half. So we had to wait an hour and a half and they're like, okay, we fixed the mechanical problems on the plane like finally. So we get in line to board the plane. And I'm looking out the window at this plane we're about to get on. And they fire the engines up. And one of the engines under the left wing starts spinning out out this huge billowing black smoke and I'm like maybe

they didn't fix this problem then we get on the plane and the pilot comes on and going apparently we're still having some issues with our air conditioning air conditioning it's not working right now right we're gonna sit here for a while while I'm we can't expect to fix it and I remember I was aiming Bernier at my sidekick at the time and Burnie replied Rotten Hill last hole I'm gonna die. We are unsympathetic if we're sitting next to somebody on a plane And they're like I'm a very nervous flyer. We go well don't worry. We fly all the time And then as soon as we're going to take off I'll turn to Jeff and I'll say casually. Yeah, we're not going fast enough

Or you know, there's a noise in the plane to go whoa That's not right My wife's a bad flyer because She got a flip up of flight that was so turbulent all the overhead bins open and that's a legitimate reason for being a bad flyer I think yeah, but I want to kill this asshole She sat next to on the plane because when they started to have turbulence He said I'm a traveling salesman. I fly every single day I go through this kind of stuff all the time and as the turbulence got worse and worse and worse They're going to do some of the one of those like Midwest thunderstorms trying to land in Kansas He pulls out pictures of his kids

Oh Got like Janie and Billy on the on the the dinner fold out trade. He's like Take care of me. Oh My god, tell your mom I love her. Oh my god. Yes, so she was, so she's a bad father. The question is, since he's a traveling salesman, did you pull out the pictures of his secret family as well? Is he a secret fighter? No, no, he wasn't. This is my regular family.

This is my Eskimo family. It's not like Charles Corralter, right? Who was at the secret family they found out? There was a big newscaster that had that. Yeah. You had two different families. But yeah, there was a, I mean, we're in in plain stories now so you can cut any of these you want But then there was a time that you and I

You ask if we ever got nervous gav here's how here's our nervous. We don't get oh Gus was sleeping on a plane and I was kind of like half asleep. We were going from in for descent and We were landing in Chicago which by the way another rule for flying don't fly through Chicago your plane will be delayed almost guaranteed so Gus and I are flying into Chicago and we're going into land and everything's normal we're getting close dropping down and we're getting at that point where you think we should feel like the little lift right before the wheels hit right we're that close to landing all of a sudden engines wham full speed and we start revving and then we just took off again.

So did you ever hit the ground? No, we never hit the ground ever. I mean, it was like a hard like push you back in your seat kind of a. So you had a go around. Yeah, we had a go around. It was our first experience with the go around. It was our first experience with the go around. And Gus kind of wakes up and he goes, what, what, what's going on? What are we doing? I said, we were going to land and we didn't land. Now we're taking off again. And Gus literally just shrugs and then goes, what's going on? What are we doing? I said, we were gonna land and we didn't land. Now we're taking off again. And Gus literally just shrugs and then goes back to sleep.

And that was it. No concern at all. And when the captain came on, he was like, he sent a piss. Apparently there was another plane on the runway. So we're gonna go back around and try this landing again. Sorry folks, he sounded pissed off dude. Man, we could keep this plane conversation

going for another three or four hours. Yeah, we have a few. We had that. Here we go, fuck it, why not? Do you remember? One time you and I were flying somewhere to an event on America West. And it was two weeks after a pilot got busted flying drunk.

We were flying back from San Jose, we were landing in Phoenix. Yeah. And so it was a big deal, it was all over the news because they just had this whole scandal of this pilot flying drunk. And Gus and I were the last people to get off the plane for some reason.

We decided we wanted to be the last people. We'd never been the last people. Okay, sure. Yeah, you got to do stuff like that to keep it fresh, right? And as we're going getting off the plane, we're seeing, I mean, there's really nobody left on the plane. They already had this cleaning crew coming through and fixing shit and like

Tiding up the pat the pilot door opens up and the pilot like kind of saunters out to say something to the weight to the Lieutenant And he had a huge cocktail in his hand and he looks at us and we see him and he froze like a deer in the headlights He looked at us and looked back at his cocktail and we just started laughing and walked out and he to my knowledge he's still standing there. It was a whiskey and coke. That was awesome. Guys I remember one time you were on a flight where you were sitting close to the cockpit. And can I do you want to tell it? Yeah yeah I was flying back this one went up my old job before.

I was flying back from Minneapolis. And it was a nighttime flight. And I was sitting like in the first row in first class. And we're at that point where we're about to take off. And they're cutting over to the auxiliary power you did in the plane. They cut off ground power, basically. And so they're doing that.

And all the power in the plane just shuts off. All the lights go off, the engines die, everything turns off. And the cockpit doors still open, the pilot goes, FUCK! The flight attendant, like, very quickly runs up from the back of the plane, and they're like, close to the cockpit door. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Well, shit.

Yeah, when I were coming back from Amsterdam. Yeah, we were flying to London from Amsterdam and we were taking off like on the runway Reven up the speed taking off all of a sudden hits the brakes in the middle of the takeoff runway and the pilot comes on it goes Yeah, we have kind of the mission up here from one of our instrument panels So we're gonna do a troubleshoot, troubleshoot. We're going to troubleshoot up here and figure it out, we'll get back to you in a minute. And then Jason and Gavin Hyderstas, what does an admission mean?

Does that mean a noise like it made like an alarm? And Jason goes, I think a mission means smoke. And I was like, oh shit, we're not taking off. Two or three minutes to go by. Yeah. Pile comes back and goes, yeah, we got all worked out. So we're going to just get to take off. Everybody make sure you're prepared for takeoff and you get your safety belts buckled.

Takes off in the middle of the runway. I just didn't even go back around or anything like that. Wow. I didn't know that was amazing. Just gunned it. One time when I was in the army, I was flying from Iceland to America and like from Iceland to Boston. And we took off an Iceland.

We were three hours towards, it was a seven hour flight. We were three hours towards is a seven hour flight So we were three hours in the air towards America and the pilot came on and said yeah We're gonna have to turn around and go back to Iceland We've been having trouble this whole trip getting the landing gear to retract and We thought we'd just you know make it But we've determined that we don't have enough that there's enough so much wind drag that we're not gonna make it to Boston. So we're just gonna go ahead and turn back around and fly back to Iceland.

So the wheels were out, the whole time. The wheels were out the entire time for three hours. It's been allowed. And then like halfway through they decided, yeah, I guess this is, you know. This is dumb. This is dumb. Let's turn around.

That sucks to be three hours and no flight that is to turn around in the middle of nowhere. And then I was stuck in Iceland for two days, on top of that. Poor baby. Yeah, it was cold. It was, it was okay. It's kind of like a, kind of like Alaska, really. In the middle of nowhere and then I was talking Iceland for two days on top of that poor baby. Yeah It was okay. It's kind of like a kind of like Alaska really. Yeah, yeah never been there But thanks for the reference. Oh, okay. I was not a good Iceland. They have a crazy governor. Yeah, they have a crazy governor

It was cool. It was it wasn't anything like you would think it wasn't like ice everywhere No, it wasn't like an ice lane. It's real nice I think they got great like geothermal springs and stuff. Yeah, I was in Keflavik Are you guys being serious right now? You guys make no big totally serious now. I hear ice and beautiful you guys are They do have these they had they don't have those hot springs. Yeah everywhere you guys are droppin' my Iceland knowledge on green green land Is the one that's icy green lens the one that's terrible when I was in elementary school who knows how true this is when I was in elementary school I was taught that they named Greenland Greenland to... In types people?

To try to trick the Vikings. Oh really? Greenland instead of Iceland. So when you look at the map, it's like, where you want to go, Greenland or Iceland. Nothing you could possibly learn in grade school could be fake, so. I'm sure it's accurate.

All right, so anything else before we wrap this super long podcast up? Nah. Kev fun editing this one. Yes, it will be, I'll... We didn't talk about the downtime, but I think we explained that in sight pretty well. Like that was. That was pretty much my fault.

Because I told Gus, yes, definitely take it down. Well, it's my fault because I thought it was only to take two hours and I realized it was 10 million fucking rows in that goddamn tape. How many rows did you think there were? I thought, well, I thought at worst there might be four million. Wow. And there turned out to be 9,812,000.

And most of those are the same jokes that over and over again. Yeah. A bunch of lull cats in there. Lull butts. Ha ha. We go the episode out there. Yeah, we did. That was that was pretty cool.

And that's why that's actually the reason why I said, let's go ahead and do it because I knew we could still deliver the episode. Yeah. Even if we had taken down the community side, even without the database, we could still serve static content. We were just in a situation where there was a slight problem with the database, but the slight problem caused a bigger problem where it made the backups fail. And I am, like I said before, super paranoid about data loss. And so I didn't want to like lose our user's data, like the journals and stuff for a couple

days, if we had a hardware failure, which is unlikely. But it, yeah. We had just had a hardware failure. One of my external USB drives that I copied those backups to had failed. Yeah. So we were already operating on a diminished capacity. Yeah, it can be pretty bad when you're just operating,

you're not paying attention to that stuff. And then you need it and you're like, wow, this drive has been bad for six months. Yeah, I just bought two new drives and I put one in yesterday. so we should be good for a while All right, that's all I'm done. All right.
